Xanthan gum is a popular ingredient used in food, cosmetics, and industrial products for its thickening, stabilizing, and binding abilities. Produced through natural fermentation, xanthan gum enhances product texture and consistency, making it a sustainable choice.

Primary Uses of Xanthan Gum

Thickener: Adds viscosity to sauces, dressings, and soups, providing a creamy texture, especially useful in low-fat products.

Stabilizer: Prevents ingredient separation in products like salad dressings and dairy alternatives, ensuring a uniform appearance.

Binder and Emulsifier: Essential in gluten-free baking, xanthan gum helps ingredients bind together, imitating gluten’s role.

Suspension Agent: Keeps particles suspended in beverages, important for juices with pulp and smoothies.

Production Process

Fermentation: Carbohydrates, usually from corn or wheat, are fermented with Xanthomonas campestris bacteria, converting sugars into xanthan gum.

Extraction: Alcohol is added to separate the gum from the broth, then it’s washed to remove impurities.

Drying and Milling: The gum is dried and milled to achieve the right particle size for easy blending.

Quality Control: Each batch undergoes testing for purity and consistency before packaging to ensure a long shelf life.
